Rina Uemura: Her second 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘢 π˜₯𝘰𝘯'𝘡 𝘳𝘢𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘡𝘩𝘦 𝘩π˜ͺ𝘭𝘭𝘴 post!!!!

 


 Of course it's much easier to do posts for your more popular J-Pop Idols though in a way find doing ones for your less popular gals a bit more enjoyable.... and also more challenging! That's the second time this year have used that phrase in a post title, the other was for a different Keya member. Figured I had to use it again as Rina's first ever solo post done in January has the fewest views of any post done this year and don't expect this to be a massive success either! Have been promising her small group of fans this post would be done and there's a big reason why I wanted to get it done quickly. Was going through Keya's older group posts and can't believe how few things there are of Rina in those posts. She is one of my fave members and can't give a good enough reason why you haven't seen more of her outside of the fact almost every other member in the last seven years have so many more pics than she does. 



 As mentioned Rina is one member I like quite a bit and over the last two years she's really zoomed up on my fave member's list. While there are others I like much more to me she just may make for the best girlfriend out of any current Keya member and I don't think that's a stretch saying that. Rina is a bit too quiet and passive which has hurt her popularity over the years but it is nice to see she's not changing the kind of person she is. Have a feeling a few years back she realized she would never be a center or become overly popular and just accepted that's the way things will be. I have noticed the third generation members tend to look up to Rina as she's in so many blog/IG photos with them and have noticed she's been getting slightly more attention as of late. So if you are a fan promise to have at least two more solo posts for her with the next one being in August.



 Said August for that next solo post for in July would like to do something special. Which is the first ever post for the first generation members, there's just five left. They'll be the cover girls for the next issue of EX-Taishu so will have that and work on many other things for that post which will come right after Keya's next single. That's coming out on June 28th and is titled "Starting Over", all of the first and second generation gals will be the Senbatsu members. So far only two songs have been revealed from the single, wouldn't it be nice if the first generation members had their own song?!!!!



 Out of the five Rina is the oldest, she turned 26 back on January 4th. If she makes it to her 27th birthday shell become Keya's oldest ever member and hope I'm not jinxing anyone but think none of the five will graduate this year. There hasn't been too, too much going on for her lately but still have a high amount of pics that have never been posted before. As I was saying there's been such a shortage of pics in group posts so there's plenty of older things to get to. This first batch isn't too old as they're Keya cards from earlier this year, none have come out since March.














 Now this set is definitely ancient as they're cards for Keya's old card series 'KeyaKise' that were promoting the game with that name which I think ended in early 2020, these are from the Summer of 2018.











 Rina's attractiveness is so hard to describe, can't call her beautiful but you wouldn't be wrong saying that either.  At 26 in age you hate to call her kawaii because of being older so you could say she's a combination of both those adjectives. Still hard to believe after being in a group for over seven years this is about it for the pics of this duo.... some of these truly come from prehistoric times!








 Rina was attending college for a while but guess with the success of Keya never finished and there's a whole bunch of members who can say the same thing. On the first day of each month there's a set of brand new pics and messages from the members, this set goes from the newest pic which is June all the way back to May 2022 though am missing one month.














 Rina did have a fair amount of solo magazine spreads up until 2019, her last solo one was in 2021. There's a few old ones from 2017-19 that have never been posted or if they were all have been forgotten about. So in these posts will bring back some of those older spreads and though twenty or older really looked so young back then. This set is from the September 2019 issue of Bomb.









 Will end off with these promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game, these you have been seeing in group posts. There's four pics to each month which go backwards from June to February and I really like the ones for May. Rina doesn't play the guitar as the trumpet is her instrument which she did play at her audition, she used to be good at it but has admitted to getting a bit rusty the last few years. Will skip having a video as there hasn't been a decent one for eons, not just for her but it seems almost every Idol I've been posting about as of late.
